The sprinkling Of cabbage plants with
water in which saltpetre has been dis
solved, at the rate of a tablespoonful
to the pail of water, has been frequen-

the most powerful of fertilizers. We

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

We, the undersigned citizens of Forsyth
and adjoining counties, having each pur-
chased of the statesmen Of the Wrought
Iron Range Company, of St. Louis, Mo-,
one Of their celebrated Home Comfort
Cooking Ranges, take pleasure in recon-
mending them to our friends and neigh
bors. Having given them a fair trial, we
pronounce them a grand success and in
every respect as good as represented by
the statesmen. We are perfectly satisfied
with our purchase. We believe them to
be superior in every way to cast iron
stoves and in the long run much the
cheapest. In addition to their good
baking qualities and economy Of fuel,
they furnish the greatest abundance of
hot water, which is a very great conven-
fence. In conclusion will say, buy a
Home Comfort Range and we will guar
antee you will not regret the purchase.

An insane Asylum Burned.

CLEsELAND, Oct. l2-Six lives were lost
might easily have been as many hundred
Cleveland is fortunate in escaping an appall-
ing disaster. At O'Clock this evening fire
was discovered in the laundry of the North
ern Ohio Insane Asylum, situated in New
burg, six miles from the centre of the city.
A high wind prevailed and the first report
was that the entire structure was in flames
and that scores of the inmates had per;shed
in the burning buildings, Later reports,
however, proved that the worst had not hap
pened and that out of $50 patients contain
Ell in the institution al the time the fire
broke out, but six had lost their lives. 50 far
as known at present.
1t is known that the fire was first seen in
the laundry, and famed by fierce wind
sIon spread TO the engine-house and other
minor buildings in the rear of the main
asylum. There was a fearful panic among
the unfortunate inmates and wild rush was
made TO escape. The attendants did all in
their power TO quiet them and az expediti-
ously as possible removed them from dan
ger under guards In the rush and terror
of the occasion six incnrable lunatics were
caught between the main building and The
laundry and ii is supposed were tramp.ed TO
death Names have not yet been obtained.
At midnight the fire was under control
aud no further loss of life was reported.
